Palestine, September 18.—Yes erday’s
issue of ’lie Advocate was boy^oi cd from the
news sfan ’s. One dealer accepted he paper
1 ’r ough mists! e, and the Krights im r.cdia
ely bought up all the cop'es and ordered
him not to sell any more. The Knights he .I
u inee ng tonight to decide whether they
will ra'se the boycott or continue it. The
Advocate came out with a blank space for
every advertisement which had been oidered
out.

The loss of b'ood during that t'me
was so great that it is doubtful if he can recover.
San Am 1 on 10, September 18.—The courtmania!
which has been in session at Fort
Clark, trying certain officers for gambling,
has for some reason or other come to a sudden
bait and suspended proceedings. Among
the witnesses brought before the court to
testify was County Attorney Kratz, who dedined
to testify, and denied the right of the
court to compel him in the matter.
This question was referred to the judge
advocate general at Washington, who in
return requested the opinion of Attorney
General Garland. In a written opinion era*
bodying his views on the subject, the altorney
gcncral sustains the position of Mr.
Ivratz that there is no law under which a
mi’itary court cau’compel a citizen to testify
before it.
Austin, September 18.—ExGov. Roberts
has become extremely offended at the publication
in the San Antonio Light of a pretended
imerview with him in a barber shop
’n ibis city a few days ago. The Old Alcalde
denounces it as a false and fanciful
fabrication of utterances puporting to have
Been made by him, but he said he’would not
have noticed it but for the fact that Swain,
Breckenridge, Ross, Ireland, Maxey and
Terrell were falsely represented as having
been mentioned by him.
IN GENERAL.
Denver, September 18.—Last Sunday
night the police arested a man named
G. W. Smi'h wbi'e in the act of placing a
dynamite caruidge on l ie Denver and Rio
G ande track near here. The case was
worked up by a private detective who was
taken into : he secret, and at an rppointed
time officers were concealed near the spot
where the explosive was to be deposited.
Tne matter was kept frem the public in the
hope that Smith would confess and implicate
others.
New York, September 18.—The English
cutter, Genesta, rettieved herself by winning
the regatta given under the auspices of the
New York Yacht club near Sandy Hook, today.
It was the annual race of the club,
and the prizes consisted of two cups, one
given by Commodore James Gordon Bennett,
for schooners, and the other by vice
Commodore W. P. Douglass, for cutters and
sloops. There were the following entries in
the race today: The schooners were the
Fortuna, Grayling and Dauntless; the cutters
were the Genesta, Ilion, Stranger, Clara and
Isis, and the centerboard sloops were the
Gracie, Athlon and Daphne.
The English cutter, her owner, captain
and crew, receiued an ovation after the race,
and between cheering, the noise of steam
whistles and the din of foghorns, the course
seemed a veritable bedlam. Everybody was
satisfied with the race and the weather, and
all other conditions were as favorable as
could be desired.
New Orleans, September 18.—Monday
night a party of unknown men, just above
the line of Wirn and Bienville parishes,
went to the bouse of Carr Hamilton, colored,
of Bienville, and ;ook the old man out, tied
him down and beat him unmercifully, and,
at the same Cine, tied hr ndkcichiefs over his
wife’s face and crammed a handkerchief in
her mouth to suppress her cries, also whipping
hct. The same night they went lo another
co’ored man’s house and took him
away from home, lrid him across a log and
beat him unmcicifully. The negroes whipped
belong to the most intelligent, thiifty
and lesptciable element of colored people in
that seclion, while Ihe assailants are of the
worst type of c"os>road hoodlums. Governor
McEneiy lias promised to offer a reward
for their apprehension.
CHSYENNE, Wyo., September 18.—The
Chinese tue fast leaving Rock Springs, being
afra' 1 to re.jme woik, and it is confidently
expected whites will soon be enabled to commence
operalk is. 1 in^ road west from
Roik Spings is lined with Chinamen with
ie'r frees tui led tow ard the setting sun.
While miners are greatly encouraged over
the present piospects. An amicable adjustment
between Ihe company and the Knights
of Labor is expected immediately. Governor
Warren and the government directors
are no\V in camp and AttorneyGeneral
Campbell left Cheyenne for Rock Springs:
last ev.ning to prosecute he par.icipalors in
the receut massacre. Rumors are l'fe that
.uglier trouble at Rock Springs is expected,
but no pa/ficulars can be ascertained.
Burlington, la., September 18.—The
empty balloon which descended at Monmouth,
111., yesterday, and created such a
sensation, was one in which an aeronaut
named Williams was lo make an ascent from
the fair grounds here, accompanied by a
newly mat tied couple. A strong wind was
blowing duiing ihe morning and shorily befoie
the time of departure a rent was discovered
in the bag, through which the gas was
escapirg. The bridal party objected to taking
passage in an unsafe balloon and Prof.
Williams then essayed fo make the ascent
alone, but it was found the escape of gas had
been so great that when the basket was detached
'lie balloon world not go up with the
piofessor and descended twenty yards from
the starting point. A man named George
Pfenning, who had made several ascensions,
came up and exchanged places with Ihe proftssor.

eff to the north, but came down about twelve
miles above the city and Pfenning alighted.
The balloon, freed from the weight, again
rose and in doing so » portion of Pfenning’s
shirt caoght on the anchor and was torn off,
and this created Ihe impression that he was
killed.
London, September 18.—Mr. Gladstone
today issued a four column^ianifesto to his
constiluents in Midlo luan. He invites comparisons
of the work of the recent parliament
with that of the pailiament which preceded
it, and confidcn'ly appeals to the electors
for a veid’ct. He refers to the good effeels
enorg 'he natives, of Ihe Marquis of
Ripon's conciliatoiy policy in India, and the
settlement of the RussoAfghan dispute, the
credit of which he claims for the liberal party.
He admits that the liberal government
committed an error in undeitaking the occupation
of Egypt, but says it was due to the
Marquis of Salisbury’s intervention policy.
He now favors the entire withdrawal of
E. itish troops from Egypt and says he believes
the people approve of the liberal government’s
refusal to stifle the Transvaal cry
for freedom. He favors the retorm of both
the house of lords and the house of commons,
free land and the abolition of the law
of primogeniture. He believes the church
sufficiently strong to survive disestablishment,
and states that he is anxious to give
Ireland the fullest justice, while at the same
time preserving the unity of the empire.
Washington, September tS.—The secretary
of the treasury has appointed N. B.
Bacon to be supeiintendent of the custom
house at Toledo, O. Mr. Bacon is a brother
inlaw of President Cleveland.
WACO FEMALE COLLEGE.
How Its TwentySixth Year Opens as to Pupils
and Piospects.
Judging from the opening of this school
last Monday it is safe to conclude it is entering
upon its most successful year. The
kindergarten'is well supplied with furniture
and material. The primary department is
taught by Miss Clara E. Comstock, formerly
of Galesburg, Indiana. In addition to the
usual instruction from text books, object lessons
and exercises in calisthenics and s’ngi; g
are given. Miss Comstock is a teacher cf
experience and ability, and she teaches the
little ones from choice. The music
and art departments in themselves are
institutions of which Waco should be proud.
Prof. Cohen delivers a special lecture to the
art class every Saturday morning. These
lectures are free to any one who may wish
to attend. Lectures on hygiene and physiology
will be delivered by one of the best
physicians ot the city, and formerly an
instructor in a medical college. In reference
to the more advanced classes in the literaiy
department it is sufficient to add a few words
from a voluntary contribution to Prof. Rounsavall
by one who supplied his place in the
school room during his severe spell of sickness
last winter. “I must commend your
young ladies—especially those in the
more advanced classes, for thoroughness of
preparatory, entiie absence of any evidence
of petty jealousies, persistent effort evinced
by each one to cooperate with the teacher,
most respcc.ful attention, and in short for
general excellence as students.”
New York, September 18.—W. M. Mackenson,
the attorney of Galveston, Texas,
who cam: here to act in behalf of James
Holland, held for the murder of Tom Davis,
left today for Baltimore to attend the grand
lodge of Odd Fellows in Baltimore.
Speak’ng of Holland’s case, he said; “I
came on here at the special instance of Mis.
Leonelle, Holland’s sister, who lives in my
town. Her husband, T. H. Leonelle, is the
principal merchant of Georgetown. All of
Holland’s friends and relatives are most respectable
people, and he himself stands high
in public esteem.”
Mackenson says he will be able to prove
to any fairminded man that Holland’s molives
in dealing with the Davis crew were
honorable. He also expresses himself as
high’y pleased with the way the New York
lawyers have handled the case.
The Mormon FreezeOut Game.
Salt Lake Tribune.
The f teezeoul game of the Saints goes on
quietly, without any noise or fuss. Tney
are quietly withdrawing all patronage from
nonMormons, dismissing them from labor
when it is possible, ana making a close corporatioa
in all things'. Every day some
one who does not pay tithing is being shut
out of all business in which to scratch out a
living, while their laborers, like Chinaman,
are competing in the mines and smelters for
the work. It is making hard times for the
Gentile laborers in Utah.
The SilverLaden War Vessel.
New Orleans, September n.—'The Uniled
S a es manofwar Swaitara left heretoday
wi h 810,400,00 in silver coin taken
from .he mint here on board. This is said
to be he most valuable cargo ever canied on
a vessel. The silver put the vessel down
about two and a half feet, so that she now
draws a little over twenty feet. There was
a report that tie vessel was too far down in
the water for safety, bat her office.s ridicule
the idea. At Quaranfne station a part of
the silver will be traisferred to the Yantic,
which is at anchor there, and the two will
then sail together for Washington. A freasu.
y official goes wi h each vessel.
PUBLIC OPINION.
The republican party “is not going far
away from the path which John Sheiman
and Geo. F.'Hoar tread,” in the opinion of
the Philadelphia Tress. That “path” led
the party to defeat last year. It will run
into the grave if followed long enough.—
Boston Herald, Ind.
For the sake of the reform parly, we hope
both the big parties will retire. But if they
decline, it is hard to see how the reform
parly can make them retire. Our mugwump
friends can play one parly against he other
for awhile, but when both parties refuse to
do their bidding, what will they do then,
poor things?—New Yoik Sun, Ind.
The advice to the President to “please
the den ocrats” in cases wherein he cannot
satisfy both his own party and the independents,
is open to this objection, that the
democrats are bound to stick to their party
whether they aie pleased or not, while the
independents will go elsewhere if their views
are not met tb a reasonable degree.—Boston
Advertiser, Ind.

PERSONAL AND GENERAL.
Of the 184 democrats elected to the next
congress, 10S are from southern states and 76
from northern states.
The Morgan line of steamers heretofore
running between New Y.ork and New Orleans,
will hereafter ply between New York
and Galveston.
A cane containing 1,060different pieces
of wood, all cemented upon a musket ramlod
found on a southern battle field, and
nicelv polished, has just been finished by a
physician of Muifeesboro, Tenn.
The Brazilian aimy comprises 30 generals,
7439 .ofiiccrs and 13,5 ■ private soldiei .
One of the Rio Janeiro jo rnais suggests that
ihe government increase the army so that in
case of war there shall be at least one officer
to every private.
JFA poor servant of Broome county, N. Y.,
who married the son of ^ rich man two years
ago, has just had a verdict for 84,000 against
her fatherinlaw awarded her on the ground
that he alienated her husband’s affections, in
consequence of which she had again to earn
her own living.
Mme. Catherine Gambetta has died at Rome
at the age of 103. Sbe is described as Gambetta’s
aunt, but p;obablywas his greataunt.
She was very poor, and got her living
by picking up refuse on tne roads and by
the sale of eggs from three hens.
A sentiment in favor of cunailingthe powers
of .GeOtgia railway commissioners, is
growing up in that stale. Since the establishment
of the commission,railway building
has practically ceased, and the people begin
to see that it pays them to aid and not to
cripple railway owners.
TEXAS PRESS OPINION.
San Antonio Times: Texas democrats
see a great many postoffices which seem so
near and are yet so far.
Heuston Post: Seven.y greenbackers of
Texas h. \ i decided not to fuse with any
parly again. That settles it.
Fort Worth Gazette: Gibbs is an animated
placaid which reads on both sides, "we
strive to please.” The harder he strives, the
more he pleases.
Galveston News: Coke, of Texas, in the
absence of Gariand and Lamar, will be the
ablest man in the senate from south of Mason
and Dixon’s line.
San Antonio Light: Rutabaga Johnson
is sifting on his Collin county farm fence
with his hands to his ears waiting to catch
(he first sound of a call for him, but he will
never hear it.
Dallas Times: At the next democratic
convention theie is going to be a startling
ignorance of the affairs of today. That is,
no on: wi'l remember this probibi:ion matter
so far as to be able to offer it in platform res*
olutions.
A few years ago the people of Geoigia
were clamorous for railroad regula.ion—some
check upon the “coimorants” whose capital
and enterprise had really done the state
more service than all the politicians who
echoed the howl would do in a million years.
There was great joy when the legislature!
provided a railroad commission and invested
it with absolute power to conduct the railroad
companies wi'hout interterlerence by
the owners. But it was too much of a
good thing. Several prosperous roads were
“regulated” into bankruptcy; railroad building
ceased all at once, and capital is cautious
about making other investments in the state.
There is now as great a clamor to get rid of
the commission as there was to have it appointed,
and the Georgians seem to have
learned that justice to the railroads is the
best policy.
Gladstone’s reentry into British politics
marks a new era and a neaier approach to
republicanism. His manifesto strikes at
the very root of old ideas which form the
basis ot monaichy and privilege, and when
these are swept away, kings and lords must
go with them.
The president has appointed a democratic
postmaster at Augusta, Maine.

general excellence as students.”
New York, September 18.—W. M. Mackenson,
the attorney of Galveston, Texas,
who cam: here to act in behalf of James
Holland, held for the murder of Tom Davis,
left today for Baltimore to attend the grand
lodge of Odd Fellows in Baltimore.
Speak’ng of Holland’s case, he said; “I
came on here at the special instance of Mis.
Leonelle, Holland’s sister, who lives in my
town. Her husband, T. H. Leonelle, is the
principal merchant of Georgetown. All of
Holland’s friends and relatives are most respectable
people, and he himself stands high
in public esteem.”
Mackenson says he will be able to prove
to any fairminded man that Holland’s molives
in dealing with the Davis crew were
honorable. He also expresses himself as
high’y pleased with the way the New York
lawyers have handled the case.
The Mormon FreezeOut Game.
Salt Lake Tribune.
The f teezeoul game of the Saints goes on
quietly, without any noise or fuss. Tney
are quietly withdrawing all patronage from
nonMormons, dismissing them from labor
when it is possible, ana making a close corporatioa
in all things'. Every day some
one who does not pay tithing is being shut
out of all business in which to scratch out a
living, while their laborers, like Chinaman,
are competing in the mines and smelters for
the work. It is making hard times for the
Gentile laborers in Utah.

PUBLIC OPINION.
The republican party “is not going far
away from the path which John Sheiman
and Geo. F.'Hoar tread,” in the opinion of
the Philadelphia Tress. That “path” led
the party to defeat last year. It will run
into the grave if followed long enough.—
Boston Herald, Ind.
For the sake of the reform parly, we hope
both the big parties will retire. But if they
decline, it is hard to see how the reform
parly can make them retire. Our mugwump
friends can play one parly against he other
for awhile, but when both parties refuse to
do their bidding, what will they do then,
poor things?—New Yoik Sun, Ind.
The advice to the President to “please
the den ocrats” in cases wherein he cannot
satisfy both his own party and the independents,
is open to this objection, that the
democrats are bound to stick to their party
whether they aie pleased or not, while the
independents will go elsewhere if their views
are not met tb a reasonable degree.—Boston
Advertiser, Ind.

TEXAS PRESS OPINION.
San Antonio Times: Texas democrats
see a great many postoffices which seem so
near and are yet so far.
Heuston Post: Seven.y greenbackers of
Texas h. \ i decided not to fuse with any
parly again. That settles it.
Fort Worth Gazette: Gibbs is an animated
placaid which reads on both sides, "we
strive to please.” The harder he strives, the
more he pleases.
Galveston News: Coke, of Texas, in the
absence of Gariand and Lamar, will be the
ablest man in the senate from south of Mason
and Dixon’s line.
San Antonio Light: Rutabaga Johnson
is sifting on his Collin county farm fence
with his hands to his ears waiting to catch
(he first sound of a call for him, but he will
never hear it.
Dallas Times: At the next democratic
convention theie is going to be a startling
ignorance of the affairs of today. That is,
no on: wi'l remember this probibi:ion matter
so far as to be able to offer it in platform res*
olutions.
A few years ago the people of Geoigia
were clamorous for railroad regula.ion—some
check upon the “coimorants” whose capital
and enterprise had really done the state
more service than all the politicians who
echoed the howl would do in a million years.
There was great joy when the legislature!
provided a railroad commission and invested
it with absolute power to conduct the railroad
companies wi'hout interterlerence by
the owners. But it was too much of a
good thing. Several prosperous roads were
“regulated” into bankruptcy; railroad building
ceased all at once, and capital is cautious
about making other investments in the state.
There is now as great a clamor to get rid of
the commission as there was to have it appointed,
and the Georgians seem to have
learned that justice to the railroads is the
best policy.
Gladstone’s reentry into British politics
marks a new era and a neaier approach to
republicanism. His manifesto strikes at
the very root of old ideas which form the
basis ot monaichy and privilege, and when
these are swept away, kings and lords must
go with them.
The president has appointed a democratic
